Data centers & crypto mining in Minnesota
Data centers and cryptocurrency-mining operations are large electricity
consumers that show up inside Minnesota's commercial and industrial load.
EIA does not publish a facility-level data-center inventory, so the figures
below pair reported commercial and industrial sales with EIA estimates of
data-center and crypto-mining electricity demand.
Estimate 2.7 TWh Estimated data-center load 4.2% of state sales
42.4 TWh Commercial + industrial sales
No state-level EIA estimate of cryptocurrency-mining load is available for Minnesota; mining is concentrated in a handful of states.
